CURRENT MISSION

to live fully in the present moment

ABOUT ME

I am a writer/performer/wanderer/teacher/life-long-learner. I have also been an active volunteer with The Western Pennsylvania Humane Society, Pittsburgh Food Bank, and the Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council. I have three cats, Marko, Marcel, & Anise.

PHILOSOPHY

"There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment." ~Hakagure (Yamamoto Tsunetomo's The Book of the Samurai)
